I love learning about animal species, environmental issues, forests, biomes, etc. and I love to read and am good at thinking critically and logically. BUT I HATE MATH.

It seems like all the majors that work in the fields I would want to require to much math, so

what major would you recommend for someone who has great critical thinking and language skills and wants to deal with the natural sciences, but does poorly in math? Environmental law? Geography? Seems like most majors out there that have safe job prospects are more math oriented so those of us stronger in writing and reading etc. are left with few choices...


Please give input!!

You're probably going to have to take at least College Algebra if you don't test out of it regardless of your math skills. Rather than hate it though I'd say you improve your skills on your own time. It's really not so bad.

I have no idea what you can do to avoid it altogether. Science and math go hand-in-hand.

My best friend is doing a Sociology degree and he tested out of College Algebra. All he has to take is Stats, which is ridiculously easy.

I don't mind taking a few math classes at all, but it just seems like all the jobs in outdoor fields are mainly math related. Does anybody know a major for someone like me who loves natural sciences and reading/ writing but dislikes physics/ math? Geography?
